O.K., This Doesn't Need To Be Taken With A Grain Of Salt...

You need a whole boulder of sodium.



But it's a fun read, anyway.

SCENARIO: Al Gore gets into the race after next Tuesday

by framecop, Fri Feb 01, 2008 at 12:18:48 AM EST

My fun little prediction for the rest of the race, and a theory for why Edwards got out of the race.

First of all, Hillary Clinton will MOP THE FLOOR WITH OBAMA next Tuesday.

Obama will pretty much become to Clinton what the media made Edwards to both Clinton and Obama.

There's no way that Obama will be able to stop Clinton after the whipping that he takes next Tuesday.

At that time, AL GORE GETS INTO THE RACE.

My theory is that Edwards spoke with Gore at some point when he was in Tennessee campaigning, and Gore made it known that if it looked like Clinton was going to be the nominee, he would get into the race. This became clearer after Florida, but they wanted to let Obama go one on one with Clinton to know for sure, so Edwards abruptly decided to get out, catching even his campaign staff by surprise.

After Clinton mops up the floor with Obama next Tuesday and Gore enters the race, it will be Gore versus Clinton because it will be clear to all that Obama cannot defeat Clinton one on one, like I have constantly said. The media will allow Gore to debate Clinton, and both Obama and Edwards will promise their delegates to Gore.

Bill Clinton will freak out. Gore won't care. That ship has sailed. He's been liberated. Hillary Clinton will lose her confidence and once again become bitter-looking and shrill as the pressure builds. Because Gore will have Obama's "delegates", she will have to take his challenge seriously. Gore defeats her in the next set of primaries, and she really loses it.

In the end, Gore chooses Obama as his running mate because he had the most delegates between himself and Edwards.

The media loves it all, the public loves the spectacle, the Republicans love it, the idiot Dumbocrats in Congress hate it, but it works.

With all of the attention over what just happened and the buzz surrounding it, Gore destroys McCain in the General Election, and in the end chooses Edwards as his AG.

Now I'll just sit back and see if Gore makes an endorsement before Super Tuesday. If he doesn't, then, hmmm...

1. I stopped reading after "Clinton will mop the floor with Obama Tuesday". Won't happen.

[Hissyspit]

2. That's not the fun part!

3. great photo

for a delusion

Al Gore does have one super delegate vote, and it would unleash more

[grantcart]

4. He isn't going to run. He is having fun, making money (just launched

a huge IPO for his TV channel) and changing the world.



But

His non endorsement is the loudest sound of silence since Simon and Garfunkel

6. His non endorsement is the loudest sound of silence since Simon and Garfunkel

Amen. Carter, too.

[grantcart]

10. Carter said he wouldn't endorse anyone until after the nomination

as a past president shouldn't stir things up within the party but gave a near endorsement to Edwards a couple of months ago and did the same with Obama last week.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. hmmm

as a past president...Bill, dear please take notes.

[jgraz]

5. If nothing else, it's a fun parallel-universe fantasy

Hillary would totally have a Tracy Flick meltdown. :rofl:

[WilliamPitt]

7. "At that time, AL GORE GETS INTO THE RACE"

With whose campaign money?

Campaign manager?

Press secretary?

National strategy director?

Ground generals?

A set-to-go-NOW!!! national network for media relations regarding print, web, blog, TV, radio and local access media in 40 states at once, direct mail set to go, infrastructure for public candidate fly-bys, staffer housing, transport for everyone everywhere, sign-holders for ten thousand street-corners, phone banks, people to dial those phones, canvassers, accurate voter rolls, accurate voter addresses, accurate voter phone numbers, and for every state...

...with what money?

:(

Sorry. :hug:

[hayu_lol]

8. What would be hilarious is seeing Gore attempting to debate with Hillary...

he is the supposedly intelligent guy who lost several debates with Bush. Maybe some here did not watch those debates...they were pathetic. Bush would make a statement and Gore would just mumble, mumble, mumble.

We had expected to see Gore wipe the floor with Bush. He didn't. So, onward and upward to whatever happens.

[WilliamPitt]

9. Gore eviscerated Bush in every single debate

And then he *siiiighed*.

And that's what the news cycle repeated as the debate story.

Not that Bush praised Musharraf for his dedication to democracy...Musharraf having gained dictatorial powers over Pakistan via a military coup not even a year before that debate date.

Gore *siiiighed*

Not that Bush, when asked what he would do in the event of a national natural disaster, said he would go to the location of the disater and hug the people and cry with them. Hey, he got the first part right after Katrina, at least.

Gore *siiiighed* again.

...and then over and over, Gore slapped Bush around the room for being so unutterably useless and dumb. Lather, rinse, repeat.

But the *siiiigh* was the story.

I'd fucking *siiiigh* too. And then I'd have to be retrained by Secret Service guys.

So whatever.
